Extensive regulation of enzyme activity by phosphorylation in Escherichia coli

While phosphorylation is an essential post-translational modification in eukaryotes only recently the phosphoproteome of prokaryotes has been provided. Here, Schastnaya et al. mutate 52 phosphosites on 23 E. coli enzymes and apply metabolomics to provide evidence for the functional relevance of bact...

Description
Summary:While phosphorylation is an essential post-translational modification in eukaryotes only recently the phosphoproteome of prokaryotes has been provided. Here, Schastnaya et al. mutate 52 phosphosites on 23 E. coli enzymes and apply metabolomics to provide evidence for the functional relevance of bacterial phosphorylation events.
